Page 5: Basic Safety Information
1.4 Notes for Pacemakers and Defibrillators Afag vibration conveyors are tested in accordance with regulation 15 of the German Statuto- ry Accident Insurance Association [Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, DGUV] (previ- ously BGV B11 of German Accident Prevention Regulations). The permissible values of ex- posure area 2 are not exceeded, therefore no measures are required pursuant to Section 4 (2) of the DGUV regulation 15. -
Page 6: Description Of The Lf Linear Feeder
2.1 General The LF, together with a transport rail, is designed for feeding bulk materials. The LF must only be used in combination with the corresponding Afag controller. This combination guarantees optimum transport behaviour. The LF must be fixed onto a sufficiently solid support, in order to avoid the conduction of vibrations to other parts 2.2 Functional description... - Page 7 The magnet, connected to the support, creates a force which attracts reps. releases the oscillating plate dependent on the oscillation frequency of the power supply. The pulsating movement of the oscillation plate causes the material to jump from the rail at each oscillation and is conveyed as a result of the angle of inclination of the leaf springs.
